B-07 Repair with simplified LCA
Aspect B-07 Repair with simplified LCA Description The repair module covers all corrective, responsive or reactive treatment of a building product or construction works to return it to a condition in which it can deliver its required functional and technical performance. It covers only the partial replacement of components and building parts (in case of…

B-09 Inclusion of energy and materials for repair
Aspect B-09 Inclusion of energy and materials for repair Description The inclusion of energy and water use, material use, etc. is framed by standards EN 15804 and EN 15978. The EeBGuide provides additional information and guidance on how (and when) to include or exclude a given aspect of the study. related study objective ☒ stand-alone…

B-10 Assessment of different repair and maintenance alternatives
Aspect B-10 Assessment of different repair and maintenance alternatives Description The performance of a product often depends on maintenance. However, several maintenance schemes may be developed for the same product, depending on the owner’s requirements and the building specifics. In the case of the repair module, several repair alternatives may also be considered, notably for…

B-11 (Buildings) / B-06 (Products) Definition of the service life of a building product
Aspect B-11 (Buildings) / B-06 (Products) Definition of the service life of a building product Description The lifespan, or service life, of building components and elements is usually defined as the period of time during which their performance meets or exceeds initial requirements. More detailed definitions can be found in reference work (e.g. the ISO…

B-12 (Buildings) / B-07 (Products) Replacement frequency
Aspect B-12 Replacement frequency Description The frequency of replacement is related to the reference study period and the reference service life of the component to be replaced. The ratio between them could lead to a partial number of replacements (e.g. where the reference study period is 30 years but the reference service life for a…

B-14 Replacement with simplified LCA
Aspect B-14 Replacement with simplified LCA Description The replacement module covers the complete replacement of components and building parts if their reference service life is lower than the reference study period. Replacement is mandatory for a limited set of building parts and components in the context of a simplified LCA. related study objective ☒ stand-alone…

B-18 Operational energy demand for new buildings – Boundaries and scenarios for simplified LCA
Aspect B-18 Operational energy demand for new buildings – Boundaries and scenarios for simplified LCA Description Several parameters can influence the results of the operational energy demand for the use stage of buildings, such as the selection of uses (i.e. building-related or non-building-related uses). European standards (EN 15804/EN 15978) recommend taking account of priority building-related…

B-20 Operational energy demand for existing buildings – Boundaries and scenarios
Aspect B-20 Operational energy demand for existing buildings – Boundaries and scenarios Description Several parameters can influence the results of the energy demand at the operational stage of buildings. Among others, the selection of uses (i.e. building-related or non-building-related uses) has a major significance on the energy demand. European standards (EN 15804/EN 15978) recommend that…
